ABSTRACT:
Out-turned upper edge portions of cabinet walls support a drop-in dispenser on edges of a counter top opening. A trim ring overlies and covers the out-turned edge portions. A tower with valves extends upward from the cabinet, and an anchor extends downward inside the cabinet walls for supporting the tower. A large curved drain pan extends over the trim ring beneath valves on the tower. A drain tube at the back of the drain pan extends straight downward to a drain opening at the bottom of the dispenser. The drain tube is straight and uninterrupted and has a large diameter. A channel extends from the front to the back of the base. An ice storage bin with a cold plate at its bottom is installed in the cabinet, and inlet fittings from the cold plate extend downward and rearward in the channel for ease of connection of liquid lines when the dispenser is tipped on its back, and for preventing damage to the fittings. The ice bin drain and the ice pan drain open in the widened rear of the channel from non-clogging large straight tubes. A T-shaped smooth plastic runner is mounted in the front center of the base, and two inward angled runners are mounted near rear corners of the base for supporting the unit on flat surfaces. Vertical conduits extend from the top to the bottom corners of the base for inserting non-cooled syrup lines or electrical lines. The drain pan, splash plate and ice door are readily removable without tools.
